    "Shabnam", former government school teacher in Bawankhedi, Hasanpur, Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, India, "murdered 7 family members"


    Explained: The case of Amroha’s Shabnam, the first woman likely to hanged after Independence

    On February 18, the 12-year-old son of Shabnam, a death row convict from Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, appealed to President Ram Nath Kovind to “forgive” his mother. Shabnam has exhausted most of her legal remedies, and if executed, will be the first woman in independent India to be hanged for a crime. Only one jail in India –– the one in Mathura –– has the provisions for hanging a woman convict. Pawan Kumar, the hangman in the December 2012 New Delhi gangrape case, has recently been quoted as saying by media outlets that he had been to the Mathura jail to ...

    Lucknow: Death row convict files fresh mercy plea before Governor

    A 35-year-old death row convict has filed a fresh mercy petition, months after the Rampur jail administration sent a letter to the district court in Amroha seeking a death warrant against her. The jail administration had sought a death warrant against Shabnam after the Supreme Court rejected her review petition in January last year. The death sentences of Shabnam, who was teacher in the Amroha district, and her lover Saleem were upheld by the Supreme Court in May 2015 for killing seven members of her family, including her 10-month-old nephew. Shabnam is lodged at Rampur district jail after she was ...
